The animals must be running the zoo. Or at least they've inspired designers to transform their hoofs, paws, feathers and heads into high-style, collectible furnishings.
Antique dealers will tell you that furniture with carved animal feet and hooves have been around since at least ancient Egypt. A few of the designs above (the Traccia table, the sheep stool) are considered classics, dating back to the '70s or thereabouts.
Still, we're not convinced we'd want critters and their various limbs in our home (barns do exist for a reason). But in the right space, these anthropomorphic styles could be dazzling.
